About this title

About the Authors

Lisette Model was born in Vienna and spent several years in Paris before moving to New York in 1938. Three years later she began a twelve-year association with Harper’s Bazaar as a freelance photographer. Starting in 1951, she also taught at the New School for Social Research and in private classes and workshops.

Berenice Abbott first established herself in commercial portraiture in Paris and later in New York. She not only created masterful bodies of work on the changing face of New York, scientific phenomena, Route 1, and Maine, but Abbott also invented photographic equipment, pioneered the teaching of photographic techniques, and was the first and most committed champion of the work of turn-of-the-century French photographer Eugène Atget.
